des moines paintball park traditions
One of the traditions at Des Moines Paintball Park is to hang broken equipment in the rafters of the pit area. Brady was playing there and core sampled as he dove into the snake. His marker was fine but his loader did not survive the impact. He got to hang it up with Joe's broken regulator. He signed the inside with his number before he hung it up. The memory will live on!

2024 Season wrap up
As the sun sets on the 2024 paintball season, it was one full of amazing memories. There were event podiums and event disappointments but each one brings growth. The off-season work continues for Brady both in the gym and practicing to be ready for 2025. Here's to more travels, adventures and hopefully more podiums in the year ahead.
